Above right, students file in for depositing their emptied dishes. Saga expands for increased students A main part of student life on campus was Saga food service. Increased enrollment brought more students to the cafeteria. One way to accommodate the number of people was an additional cafeteria in the Palms dormitory. Piers Banks, food service director said Saga was able to handle the increased number of students. The menus are basically the same and the in- creased enrollment didn ' t cause the food service to suffer, said Banks. Each year Saga employs students to help prepare and serve meals. This year there were over 150 stu- dents who earned extra money in their spare time working for Saga. 20 - Student Ufe

At left, proprietor Howard Fiedler stiares a jovial moment with Arts juniors Sue Glen and Mary Harre. Below, Howard breaks for a lunchtime chat with Business senior Tom Adams. Above, Howard carries on the Beal enterprise established by his father-in-law, Walter Beal. Beal ' s continues as off-campus tradition Established in 1939, Beal ' s Grill, located on 24th and California, has resisted the furious flow of time. The warm and friendly atmosphere resembles a small town cafe where the community gathers for a cup of coffee and the day ' s gossip. There exists a powerful attraction at Beal ' s that has brought the professional students back for 40 years. Howard Fielder, the 1979-80 proprietor, told newcom- ers that his restaurant is full of liars and mouth plum- bers, body wreckers and pill pushers. There was usu- ally a loyal patron of Beal ' s to translate this into law, dentistry, medical and pharmacy students. Fielder had an active interest in Creighton and its students. He loved being close to campus because that ' s where all your fun is. Almost every student visits Beal ' s at least once during his or her college career. Beal ' s Grill has been a stalwart neighbor to Creighton ' s campus, and was likely to remain so for years to come. Student Life - 19

Being a mother of seven enhances her role as a hAom-figure to C. U. students. Snack bars provide student hang-out Both campus snack bars were popular hang-outs this year. Brandeis snack bar has always been a center of aggregation. Its close proximity to the office of the Student Board of Governors, the Pit and the Knothole enhanced it as a central gathering spot on campus. While Brandeis has traditionally been predomi- nated by town students, many nearby off-campus stu- dents became partial to Becker. According to Rose Chase, Arts senior, Becker has a more relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. It ' s not as noisy and crowded as Brandeis. Student Life - 21
